This is my childhood playground. And the correct name is Jefferson Playground: Home of the…read moreMustangs. And the colors are black & gold. I rollerskated (and attempted skateboarding) here. My Dad boxed upstairs in the gym in the 50s and there used to be plays on the stage. Depending on the season, you'll see all the kid sports: football, baseball, softball, track, soccer, tennis. Plus as an old school playground it has wide open space to just run (my favorite). The playground equipment is all new and was donated by a medical conference a couple of years ago as post-K largesse. The only issue with the space is that the condo owners across the street walk their dogs in the greenspace and some forget to scoop the poop. Not cool when you have kids running around. The skating rink is now a parking lot; the boxing space is offices; they've made the place a lot safer than when I was kid...how did we climb up in the rafters of the stage. But a great space to play

There's lots of space and it never felt crowded, even when it was peak workout time for park patrons. I also love the track that goes all the way around the park.

There are a lot of hills to go up and down on. Various soccer fields are available. There's also an outdoor stage for concerts and festivals, cute geese and chickens walking along the trail way, and overall a lot of nature in sight. Overall, a pretty nice park.

Went to check out lakeside mall's playground. It was so cute! You need to reserve a slot for play…read morethough which you can sign up for online. There's a limit because they don't want to overpack the place. The slots are in 30 min increments. There are people to oversee the playground, but you can't just drop them off and leave the kids there. You still have to be present. You have to take your shoes off first and there's cubbies for you to place them in. Then my favorite part is actually the handwashing station. There's 2 circles and you just place your hands and arms in there until it turns on. You remove your hands once the machine stops and then you dry your hands with some paper towels after. There's a large soft play area for kids.There's also a Jungle gym structure for bigger kids. There's a family rest room, nursing room, and changing room. This place has it all and there's plenty of space for parents to sit and watch.

My son loves to come to this place whenever we come to the mall to shop. It's a free playground…read morethat you just have to sign up and designate your timeslot of 30 minutes ahead of time online. It's very popular so most of the time if you wait to the last minute all the time slots will be filled! They have nursing rooms, clean bathrooms and a family restroom. We love it here!!

The clubhouse is a polling station to vote, I have come for that. There is plenty of parking. I keep intending to come walk around the fields when no one was playing.

There are three play areas one for kids 5 to 12, one for Kids 2 to 5, and one for adults to exercise. There is also 2 softball or baseball diamonds, a tennis court, a gym, a batting cage, and something to practice your long jump near the tennis courts. It looks like they put a lot of thought into the playground this time. I recommend it for anyone wanting to take the kids out, or doing some exercise.

Thank the Lord the citizens fought to prevent the Orleans School Board from selling this land…read more Even though it's a NORDC playground the school board still owns the property, It is peculiar. Why the land was never transferred from the Parish to the City is a good question. Who knows how all that works. The important thing is that it's still a gem of a park and it avoided being developed into McMansions for now.

This small park also has nice playground sets for the kids, a cute little pavillion with restrooms, lots of green space to run around or toss a ball, and a small pond.

My niece loves the playground here as well as the friendly ducks.

There's also space to launch a boat or kayak if you want to do that. BEWARE OF ALLIGATORS!!!!!!! The signs aren't a joke! Especially if you are there with a pet, have great caution when near the water. I say this because many people take their dogs down to the pavilion by the boat launch because that's where the hose is located. Keep your dog on a SHORT leash and beware of your surroundings. Gators like to hang there right around the corner.

My most recent visit here was to the Crime Stoppers event in October 2017. A co-worker was telling…read moreme about this event, and let me tell you, it was so very cool! The Jefferson Parish Sheriffs Department was here, as was the city police, members of the morgue (the live ones that work there, not the dead ones you silly goose), the SPCA was there with some animals, and so much more. Ideas for home protection were popular booths here as well. There were also booths set up giving hot dogs and soda at no cost to the public. There was a live band on stage. Now lets get to the park itself. There is an area specifically for dog that is small but enclosed. There are picnic tables and a couple of boat launches. You can access the walking trail that extends along the south side of the waterfront. This is between the levy and the water of the lake, so I am sure they block it off during storms. Great place to go to for some family bonding time.
